Hi,
Nothing wrong with using ffdshow as codecs(i use it, & it's working good here)
About MPA as already said seems like it doesn't support MPEG1 Mono & we don't develop that one....
ah ok. It would probably make sense then to receommend (or even distribute?) ffdshow as audio decoder together with MP. This would save new MP users from falling into the "mpeg1 trap", since there still seem to be some TV stations out there that broadcast mpeg1 audio.
Anyway - Thanks for helping. I am using ffdshow for audio now without problems. Everything runs fine, so far.
